There are content boxes under the slider – not sure why you can’t see them. There are three of them and include the photo column, the “We promise…” column and the, “Follow us” column.

I added the code you gave and left the background color as you stated as black. Please look again and you will see that the black is not only under the slider but under the nag bar making the nav bar grayish. Also the artwork (which right now are jogs with a pink background, overlap the nav bar. I need the slider to be totally below the nav bar including it’s background color and the pieces of artwork. Once you see the content boxes, can you also help on the other questions?

{if you are using a static homepage, you can disable it and use content boxes shortcode.}

I am not sure what you mean – how would I then make this page the home page.
